    Who is 300 ADV appropriate for?

    300 Hour Teacher Training is appropriate for graduates of a 200 Hour TT, with a recommended minimum of 6 months teaching practice, who want to take their teaching to the next level. After learning the basics in a foundational 200 TT, a teacher will often have enough skill and information to create a general class structure. With time and a little experience, new teachers may become bored and repetitive, desiring more creativity and vive for sequencing. And/ or, they need greater skills to deal with issues that arise in class with different bodies, experience levels and therapeutic concerns. Advanced TT answers questions and provides insights into how you may want to develop your skills, challenges you would like to solve and new heights you want to reach in terms of your yoga career.

    How?

    THE ABHAYA METHOD

    The Abhaya Method provides a framework for practicing and teaching asana that is based on vital fundamental alignment and breath principles. Each posture can be approached through the 4 pillars: foundation, inner core principles, muscular support, and Anchoring principles that allow for expansion of the posture. Additionally the Method is looked at through the 5 Koshas or sheaths, which consider the physical body and the more subtle bodies: pranic, mind/ emotional, intuitive/ wisdom, and deepest essence body. Yoga is a means for awakening the body, mind, and Spirit and with that, the Abhaya Method provides a map for delving deeper into alignment and opening of all the layers of our being.
